Magic leap headset to be unveiled9/20/2023 ![]() But I don’t really care if it looks goofy. Many people around the web are complaining that this looks goofy, mostly because this announcement doesn’t provide us with enough information to critique it in other ways. Tethered by a single cable, the company says it offers “igh-powered processing and graphics, streamlined in a lightweight pack that stays right by your side.” Abovitz told Rolling Stone the company is still working on battery optimization. The system comes with a small mobile computer that’s clipped to the user’s waist, which Magic Leap calls the ‘Lightpack’. ![]() ![]() Rolling Stone reports the headset will come in two sizes, and pieces like the forehead pad, nose pieces, and temple pads can all be customized to ensure a good fit. Before the company launches Magic Leap One, they’ll also take user’s glasses prescriptions to build corrective lenses directly into the headset-possibly hinting at a decidedly premium pricetag. The report describes Lightwear’s field of view (FOV) similar in size to “a VHS tape held in front of you with your arms half extended.” image courtesy Magic Leap Magic Leap founder and CEO Rony Abovitz told Rolling Stone the headset incorporates “eye tracking, and you’re going to use gesture, our input system for most of the experience.” The headset, which has a real-time computer vision processor, reportedly contains four built-in microphones, external cameras to track the wearer and the world they’re in, and tiny high-end speakers built into the temples of the device to provide spatial audio. Two cables are seen trailing out the back of the Lightwear headset, although Rolling Stone reports these actually unite in a single cable on its way to the computing unit. The headset itself is going by the name Lightwear, which features an array of sensors – exactly how many and their individual purpose, we’re not sure yet.
